title: Axial rotation gravity goniometer. A simple design of instrument and a controlled reliability study.
abstract: A new model of convenient measuring device, axial rotation gravity goniometer (ARGG), was designed to improve the reliability in measuring rotary motions of the forearm and shoulder. Inter-tester reliability was significantly higher for ARGG than for the standard plastic goniometer.
